Los niños abandonados (1975)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1353932/

Los niños abandonados / The Abandoned Children

Director: Danny Lyon

This film quietly chronicles the aimless daily lives of abandoned children in Santa Marta, Colombia.

***
Danny Lyon is one of America's great photographers, best known for his series on Chicago bike gangs and his on-going series of death row inmates in the Texas prison system. Lyon was partners with Robert Frank in a company they formed to make documentaries and support their photographic work when he made this poetic cinema-verité portrait of homeless children on the streets of Santa Marta, Colombia. Lyon's remarkable trademark ability to be with the boys as if he were one of them allows him (and us) to experience their day-to-day lives. Punctuated by songs written and sung by one of the boys, the film has a transcendent objectivity tinged with heartbreaking beauty. Restored at 2K by Mark Rance from the original camera negative held at the George Eastman House, the audio has been restored from the original production tapes. This effort is part of an on-going collaboration between Watchmaker Films and Lyons' Bleak Beauty.

Der kleine Muck / Little Muck

Director: Franz Fiedler
Stars: Gustav Waldau, Willi Puhlmann, Ernst Martens, Christa Caporrici, Christa Berndl, Christian Fiedler, Franz Joseph Fiedler, Franz Fröhlich, Käthe Zeiler, Elise Aulinger

Based on a fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff (1802-1827).
This children's film is a little surprise from the Nazi period (1944). Though certainly not a good film, the adaptation of the fairy tale is fine (good story telling), the cast is charming (note Gustav Waldau as Mister Moon), pacing is good and there are some nice special effects and sets; I especially like the moon designed as a cottage with garden). This film makes one curious to an unknown aspect of the German cinema during the Nazi period: films aimed at children only. Jan Onderwater, IMDB

Postcards from the Desert Island (2011)

No imdb info

Director: Adelita Husni-Bey

Postcards from the Desert Island documents a 3-week workshop with students from the École Vitruve, an experimental, self-run elementary school in Paris. Inspired in William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, the artist asked the pupils to turn the school hall into a desert island, and to relate themselves to such new territory. The video documents the children's organisational methods, their approaches to the problematics raised by self-governance and by the possibility of imagining institutions and social relations from scratch.

Google translated from the wiki: An ordinary day in 1969, without an explanation first, all watches, clocks and clocks of the world stop at midnight. The time is gone and no longer allows to regulate human activities. Within days, the distress is spreading and governments are in a hurry calm the distraught people. Only the private course Octave Gildas in Paris, Mr. Drouin, old traditional and dreamy teacher, does not seem in the least affected by this event, continuing to meet as usual to the second its immutable timetable, which it earned the nickname "clock head." Apparently his watch - yet an old pocket watch - is the only one that continued to operate...
